Change hard drives where the files stored, how to ensure that no problems with the catalogue

I replaced the 3 TB drive (and readers of backup related) who hold all the image files on my Mac Pro with a 5 TB drive.

The player has only the image on her files. The catalog and previews remain in the folder of images on my main system drive.  I formatted the new drive in an external hard drive enclosure, then used Super Duper to copy the image of the old 3 TB HD files to new hard disk 5 TB. Now, I'm ready to install the new HD 5 to in the computer and the catalog of links to it, but want to make sure you do it correctly.

This player has 81 000 image files, catalogued in 15 "buckets", each "bucket" with about 15 cases of work, so I obviously want to make sure that I don't have to tie all these files by hand.

What is the best method to do this, so I have no problem with the catalog know the new location of the files?

Instructions are here: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing connect the parent (as shown in Figure 4) folder, and then all subfolders will be also connected. If I understand your use of the word 'bucket' (do you really mean "parent folder"?), then you will need to do this for each of the 15 buckets.

It would be much easier if you had a 'bucket' or parent folder and many subfolders and sub-sub-folders.

    There are 153 images in this catalog, all on 1 external. Which does not seem right, or you expect very different numbers, could you give me an idea of what numbers you expect?

    This seems to be an empty catalog with any folder. It seems to me that you have opened an empty catalog somehow. Could you please try file-> open the recent item and see if any of the other catalogues listed is the one you want? If this does not work, could you please try to restore a recent backup of your catalog file and see if the situation is resolved?

    Hi people,

    my girlfriends A100-407 shows really bad cluster errors in Microsoft scandisk, the indexer service research plant always shortly after startup. The laptop is about 23 months, so this should be a matter for the guarantee.

    Because she really need the laptop for his study, I thought to simply by changing the disk hard so that she can use the laptop again immediately after reinstalling windows. Is it possible to send just the hard drive damaged in replacement?

    They can order a new HARD drive and maybe you can get the defective HARD drive and take a new.

    Of course, you can change the HARD drive by yourself if you wish. You will not lost the warranty if you change the HARD drive.

  • Hard Drive crashed - Photo files stored on another drive - from Sync

    My hard drive crashed, but I had almost all of the photos and a recent catalog on a backup disk file.

    I have gone to the catalog of photos and press on the "!" icon to find the picture on the new drive. It reconnects only pictures of this shoot.

    At this rate, I'll do this for years!

    Is there a faster way to reconnect my catalog to a new disk?

    The trick is to reconnect to a top-level folder. Then, all subfolders will fall into place. If no top-level folder doesn't appear, right (or control) click on one of your folders and select "Show parent folder" and make a "folder update on that location.

  • Where and how can I reinstall the external hard drive to the new HD to the computer?

    Original title: HD crashed.

    I want to thank the person who answered my question about the HD crashed I saved all my data and window xp. My next question is, how and where can I reinstall external hard drive for the new HD to the computer? Should I send it to drive c or where? I'm not strong when it comes to computers. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Thank you.

    Hello!

    You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

    Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

    If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

  • Change hard drive - how do I reinstall Windows copy on the old drive?

    I intend to change my old hard drive to the laptop with a new one. Windows Vista comes with the old drive, how can I move to the new? Copy + paste does not work completely. Thank you!

    Hello

    There are different ways to do

    hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

    Search for information on this subject on their Web site

    If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

    read the information below

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

    or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

    link below is an example of this:

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

    also to put your machine how you bought:

    1. that vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

    You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive

    ask the manufacturer of the machine how

    2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

    The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

  • How can I put a hard drive of the laptop into a desktop computer?

    I have a HP Pavilion 5000 ZV who died some time ago, and the hard drive is always good. It's 60 GB running Windows Xp. there I got the laptop from a friend because they did not want. Also I have a desktop IBM Aptivia since 1998 and it has a huge 8 GB HDD running windows 98. I want to put the laptop drive in the desktop and take out the old one. I would buy a new hard drive, but it's Microsoft Office 2003 pro. This is the only copy I have and I did re install the product key. I need this computer for my workshop. How to operate? Is there a part I need? If Yes, where can I get a?

    If I understand correctly, you have a laptop HP Pavilion ZV 5000 which doesn't work but has a 60 GB HDD that has installed Windows XP and Office 2003 is also installed.

    You want to put the laptop hard drive in an old desk.

    You have two problems: hardware and software.

    Hardware issues can probably be solved easily (you would need something like this $10--> http://tinyurl.com/d539pwf kit - but read the comments).

    The problem of software is that you can not take an existing installation of Windows XP and completely change the hardware.  If you try, you will need to do a reinstall of Windows before it will work.

    If you have a generic OEM XP install CD, you may be able to do a repair installation (save applications - for example Office 2003), but the CD must be at a same or later version of XP (Home, Pro) and Service Pack level as the version of XP that is installed.  You must also have the product key that is associated with the OEM install CD (I think that the key to the label on the HP will fail).

    More likely, you will need to do a clean install, which will involve formatting the drive.

    If you have the Office 2003 installation CD, you can retrieve its installation key from the drive of the laptop before installing it in the office.  Probably the best way to do this is to put the laptop in a hard drive enclosure external drive, which attach to a working computer and use of Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder using his function to "Load hive".
